‘Stillborn’ baby alive in drawer at morgue

A BABY girl was found alive in a morgue 12 hours after doctors declared her dead.

Analia Bouter, 29, heard her “stillborn” child crying in a refrigerated drawer when she asked for it to be opened so she could take a last photo.

Mrs Bouter and her husband Fabian, 31, had left Perrando Hospital near Resistencia, Argentina, with a death certificate after their daughter was born three months prematurely, but returned that night to view the body.

She said: “When a worker opened the drawer we heard a cry and she was alive.

“She spent 12 hours in the freezing cold of that morgue. I saw the ice on her body. I don’t know who is to blame, and I’m not thinking about it. The joy of knowing she’s alive is covering every other feeling.”

The baby has been named Luz Milagros, which means Light Miracles. The hospital is investigating.
